2009-11-14T15:16:52Z

Dear Calendar localizers,
as most of you know we've been in string freeze for quite some time but
have lagged behind on the code development side. A few days ago, the last

A bit of background on Beta 2, Beta 3, what's in and why and such

2009-11-13T20:40:27Z

Hi,
I promised a post about what we've been thinking in doing the Beta 2 and
3 after "just one Beta" Beta 1.
There were a few incremental code fixes and features that the Firefox
team wanted to expose to the beta testers. That would have been totally

sorting my .dtd and .properties files

[ANNOUNCE] Possibly Firefox 3.6 Beta 3 cutting off on Friday

2009-11-11T20:17:15Z

Hi,
if we're doing a Beta 3, and it's not in stone that we do, we'll be
code-freezing that on Friday.
Code freeze for RC is still targeted for November 18th.
If you have missing strings, please get them in, if you have QA
feedback, get it in, get your fixes tested and opt-in with new revisions.
Either in this thread or the RC opt-in thread, I'll follow both.

Question to l10n (non-latin scripts) teams about attachment reminder in TB

2009-11-06T15:45:47Z

Does the attachment reminder in TB works OK to you with localised
keywords? In Greek seems to fails miserably to recognize any greek word,
and I am interested if works ok to the other non-latin l10n builds and
keywords.
Thanks
